Snakes are creatures of habit, so they tend to stick to the same hunting grounds. If you want to keep snakes out of your yard, it’s important to understand how they move around and what kind of plants they like to eat. That way you can plant the right things that will discourage them from coming near your home or garden!
Are there any plants that discourage snakes?
While there are no plants that repel snakes, you can use aromatic herbs and flowers to encourage snakes to stay away. Some recommendations include lavender, peppermint, and chamomile. You can also use a commercial product called Snake-Away® Granules to deter snakes from entering your garden.
The scent of animals or urine is very attractive to snakes because they rely on their sense of smell to find prey and mates. Snakes have special organs in their heads that help them smell better than any other creature on Earth!

What is the best homemade snake repellent?
Here are the best homemade snake repellents:
- Peppermint oil and garlic – This is definitely a good one to try because it’s cheap, easy to make, and effective. Just spray your plants with water and then add a few drops of peppermint oil (or add more if you want) before spraying again. The smell will deter snakes from approaching your garden or house. Make sure not to overdo it though — too much peppermint oil could kill off your plants!
- Peppermint oil and eucalyptus oil – These two ingredients make an excellent combination for keeping snakes away from your yard or garden! Just mix together equal parts of both oils before applying them in your desired location as a spray solution. You can also replace one part eucalyptus oil with another type of essential oil like citronella if you want something less spicy smelling around the house; however, this might not work as well because some reptiles have learned how to ignore certain smells over time due to their heightened senses when hunting prey down so sometimes using multiple scents simultaneously can help keep them out of certain areas where humans might normally feel safe anyway.”
Are there any plants snakes don’t like?
- If you have a garden, plants that attract snakes are the worst. Snakes are drawn to the scent of rodents and other small animals like rabbits and rats. These plants will draw them in, as well as their predators, who may eat your beloved pets or livestock.
- However, there are ways to repel snakes from your yard and garden if you have a problem with them! The number one way to do this is by planting species of plants that produce strong scents which deter them. Geraniums, lavender and mint all produce strong aromas which make it hard for snakes to find their prey—and then there’s also catnip! Cats love catnip so much because it acts as a natural sedative for kitty cats but can act as an insect repellent when planted near other areas where pests such as mosquitos or flies tend to hang out around people homes during certain times throughout each year depending on where
Conclusion
You can use any of these homemade snake repellents to keep snakes away from your garden, yard and home. They are easy to make and inexpensive. However, if you want to be extra cautious about keeping snakes out of your yard then you should use a commercial product that has been tested for effectiveness by the EPA.
